Stock configuration, no changes made to either NetBSD, pkgin or pkgsrc configuration. For example: Trying to install emacs, multiple packages are marked as 'not found' or 'unavailable' and pkgin stops the installation and asks "Proceed [y/N]" before failing the installation with $? returning '1'. Restarting the installation may or may not solve the problem. >How-To-Repeat: Try installing the same package (emacs for example) several times. It will usually fail on the same dependencies. >Fix: Sometimes, trying several times result in a succesful installation. It is clear to me the problem is located on the mirror used by pkgin and not on the local machine.
